“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” – James Baldwin
Mary believes in a relational, strengths-based approach to therapy. Her focus areas include work with survivors of trauma and abuse, couples therapy, and treating depression, anxiety, life transitions, and grief and loss.
Mary is certified in both EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which are evidence-based therapies used to heal from the effects of trauma.
In the midst of the serious work of therapy, Mary seeks to find hope, joy, and humor –and a renewed enthusiasm for life. Along with EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Mary utilizes mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Mary also encourages her clients to pursue a holistic approach to health, incorporating exercise, proper sleep and nutrition, spiritual practices, nurturing relationships, and activities they enjoy.gh.
